Some of you guys may remember my near death experience with a CD player on the landing and the humiliating sniggers of my offspring as I very nearly plunged naked down the stairs to an untimely (and oily) demise. I decided today that I would set up my Boots wireless bathroom speaker so I could listen to a bit of Guns&Roses in the bath. Yay!

What a pile of carp it is. It took me half an hour to figure out how to get the battery cover off, another ten minutes to tune it to my I-Pod and lo, Axl Rose sounds like, well.....Daniel O'Donnell if I'm honest. Plus there's an annoying hum in the background (no, it's not Slash)

I'm very disappointed as I thought with an original price tag of £25 that it should have decent sound quality. I bought it in the 75% sale so didn't pay full price, but still...

I wonder if I can take it back and get a refund even though it's been a couple of months since I bought it and I don't have the receipt any more? Did anyone else buy one of these and have any more success with it?

I thought of buying that glad i didnt know.

I did buy the doggy speakers as a cheap thing to plug my ipod into until i get a proper docking station. Well they worked the first time i used them but the second time i put them on only one doggy is working. Dont have the reciept anymore so cant take it back but crap quality for their original price.:mad:

Hi i don't know if anyone replied i haven't caught up yet.
but just wanted to say Canterbury Wincheap has a tiny clearence area now does have one lonely lee stafford box of tricks left and have noticed Girand sets back to half price. also some reduced SEL toothpastes, S&G gift bags no reduced Sanctury or NC.
Canterbury Whitefriars has NO clearence when i last went :mad: am going again tomorrow so will let you know. it did have FREE bib with any baby item (these are scanning at 0.00 so prob go through without purchase) if anyone hasn't seen them bibs are white with i heart bepanthem on them ok for free. I may have spotted vichy there lots of S&G gift bags and i got a putting set there last week though:D ah nearly forgot they do have Extracts minis HTH

jazzteddy, isn't the perkie working on any reduced items now? i've been away since tuesday (nowhere near a boots store or a PC:eek: ) and I am reading the thread backwards. Mr b is going to lose a lot of very loyal customers at this rate. There is no incentive to spend a fiver anymore if the perkies can only be redeemed against full (over)priced items:rolleyes:

Hi

I managed to get 2 blushers that were reduced to £5 for free with the purkies on Wednesday, but couldn't get a Sun screen that was reduced to £4.43. Th eblusher was £5, so maybe a minimum spend of £5 is now in force, or a minimum value for an item to use the purkie.

I ditched the sunscreen and picked up a lush betty blue nail varnish which is just the right side of gothic for me.

I love No7 nail varnish but have every shade, so can only get them when a new one is released (or availlable in local store).

Was sent to get some slim fast for hubby (he likes the taste) so split transactions to get purkies, so did very well for not spending any money!

I don't know about this but the laugh you just gave me describing it briefly means that I really need to find out.:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Sally06, yes it appears that some of the Christmas stock has been shipped out to branches. A few people have reported seeing large numbers of the No7 Artist Collection set, for example, which was originally £70, on sale at £17.50. Not near me though, unfortunately.

Hiya
I don't save anything for best either .. cos I'm worth it :j
My perfumes get used up .. I put it on a few times a day whether I am at home or going on a school run lol .. I don't care where I am going, I use it .. just like I don't have any clothes just for best .. cos every day is a " best day " .. cos we are alive + worth it
Any good things in life which you have .. you need it now. ( 2morrow is not ours to see )

very well said ANGEL50:T I have tons of unopened bottles of perfume and GWPs etc... I have no idea what I'm keeping them for They just look too nice to open:o I really need to start using up my stash (as opposed to looking at it and stroking it:rotfl: ) Thanks for the words of wisdom. It's just what I needed to hear:T

What is the cheapest or free item I can get with PURPLE voucher? Have 2 and want to get rid of them tomorrow, don't want to spend loads mind you.

Also, is anyone going to be BOOTSING around lunchtime in Leeds city centre tomorrow? If there is anyone around, pm me!

PS. The adorable SA at my local is so lovely! She always comes over for a mini gossip whenever she sees me. Anyway, I was feeling really perky and happy today, and bless her soul, she noticed. She asked me why I was grinning like a cheshire cat. Normally SA's are quite grumpy but this one is just spot on. Who would have thought an SA who sees lots of customers daily would notice such a thing. She is such a honey. I'm deffo gonna call CS and tell them about the super service she delivers.

PPS. Saw a few GILLETTE PUTTING things at HUDDERSFIELD (city centre) store yesterday. It did say on the set that you had to spend £10 or more on Gillette items. HTH.
